Hi,

Of late I've been getting occasional Emacs crashes with the following backtrace:
$ emacs -nw
Fatal error 11: Segmentation fault

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I can't reproduce this minimally but it seems to happen when (1) I'm using emacsclient, the above crashed during an `emacsclient -c` session, and (2) when running some kind of file search, I usually use rgrep.

Thanks!
